I think the problem is that the mouse wheel scrolling is so much different from arrow key scrolling. With the setup / ebook I am currently reading, a single tap of the down arrow will scroll the page down approximately half a line. A turn of the mouse wheel by just 1 notch scrolls the page down by 7 lines. I would love to set the keyboard aside and kick back and just scroll with the mouse. But, 7 lines at a time is just too jarring. It takes a moment to find my place again, which defeats the whole purpose of using scrolling instead of paging.

If the mouse scrolling was either adjustable in some way, or even just dialed back to match the arrow scrolling, it would be very helpful.
